You're seeing a racial theme, but what about the gender politics. Look at the quote at the end of that article, also from Rivers: "The black community must take the lead in defending their own daughters... And ultimately, at the end of the day, it’s the fathers, the shepherds, the leaders, who have to take responsibility for this and engage it.”

If Republicans ran the inner cities of this country and the school districts that serve them this would actually be news.

50 years and trillions of dollars later, and the only answer on the left for the insanity and dysfunction is more money and more programs. The wretched living conditions of America's blighted urban areas have become a massive cash cow for the Democrats and their unionista pals. Don't expect change anytime soon.

Is it a crime to seduce someone for money? Forcing someone to seduce another person would be, I think, but if you choose to accept money to seduce someone, where's the crime? It isn't really prostitution. It's not right, but it's not criminal.

Funny. You put most of the neighborhood guys in prison for non-violent crimes, they come out with "felon" on their foreheads leaving them with little chance to get a decent job, you make it illegal for them to live with their families if the families are in federal housing which they might be since most of the family income disappeared when Dad went to prison...and yeah, the dads disappear back into a life of crime after prison gave them a graduate degree in crime.

And the war on drugs grinds on, with no noticeable effect on the supply of illegal drugs or on the addiction rate.

Those in question are committing a crime by executing an overt act in furtherance of a criminal conspiracy - presuming they understand their information is being used to plan attacks. There seems to be some dispute near the end of the article about whether this is always the case, but it clearly is the case sometimes.

The disconnect is describing their involvement in violent crime and then blaming it on others, as if what they're doing is a prank and only men are accountable for their actions.

======================Sure it's prostitution. You are paying the young black 'ho not to give her ass up to you, but to someone else and for info on the "seduction".Preacher's right too, on the danger. The black 'ho is a paid snitch and if found out - in real danger of a going away gang rape present over several days....or turned over to the gangs own "female auxiliary" members to fuck up or cap ...(the in-house 'hos that are often as violent and barbaric as the male gang members). Or killed by the "had" gang member to ensure she ends up unmissed in several garbage bags in a landfill or body tossed in a remote location...

Gangs need to defend themselves from the threat of infiltrating snitches paid by cops or rival gangs. With all vigor.It's Survival.

Because the mothers are as innocent as pure driven snow. Never mind that they (most likely intentionally) had those kids out of wedlock, and thus raised them in fatherless families. They are women, and so cannot have any culpability.

They commit plenty of violent crimes too - one thing that this gun grab by the Dems has pointed out is how lob sided the gun violence statistics are from a racial point of view. Blacks are far more likely to murder, and be murder victims, than whites, and if you exclude a handful of inner cities around this country, our overall murder rates don't look all that bad, in comparsion to, say, Europe. And, of course, it isn't just murder, but most violent crime, as well as drug related crimes, and, esp. non-pot drug offenses. Sure, selling heroin on the street may be somewhat victimless, but do you really want the guys doing that out of prison?

There is a lot of whining about the number of blacks in prison. But, much of that is because poor inner city black males tend to be much less law abiding than middle class whites. And, of course, the big reaosn for the problem was the attempt to legitimize and fund single motherhood through a massively failed attempt at progressive social engineering. Yes, there are a lot of poor black males in prison, but the answer is not to let them out, but rather, to end this failed attempt at social engineering.

True. I think that comes of a gang culture and the gang culture comes of a illegal drug industry that is the best chance to earn a living (I changed that from "decent money") for felons.

Do you think all those people in prison really deserve to be there? Is incarceration the best way to deal with non-violent crimes? Do you think it is better for our nation to have all those people in prison and come out hopeless?

My answers are No, No, and No. That comes of a direct exposure to the inner workings of our justice system. It looks different from inside the meatgrinder.
